This is what his 3rd or 4th review of the car?

If not even more - I don't understand it. His reviews are pretty surface-level. The best thing about this is they serve as effective walk-arounds if several different specs/colors, haha

I'm a fan of Joe and his reviews. He is the one who put these cars on my radar with his first 4BW review at VIR which he won a You Tube award for.

He may be a nice guy but I agree, very surface level reviews. This just means that you can hit your lifetime quota of watching his videos by seeing him review only one car.

The Chris Harris review was WAY too short...hopefully he takes the CT5-V Blackwing to the track next.

That Chris Harris mini-review was fire. I also really wanted a longer one. His opinion really matters to me!

At least Joe will push a car's performance a bit in a review unlike say Doug DeMuro (I think his reviews are best for features/content in a car but horrible for conveying info on driving experience for performance cars.)

Chris? Is that You? I kid, but not really.

He did a really good job with it, covered a lot of the Easter eggs too. Good review.

He's like the 10th reviewer to miss that the key is actually the same color as the calipers, not the car.

I always roll my eyes when they proclaim that it needs a V8... you don't hear them complaining that the M3 needs a V8, or the Giulia needs a V8. And then they have the gall to say that the manual being slower is a con... like, for the past 15 years, every manual is slower than the auto... is it really a con then?

Anyways, rant over.

Very interesting. I know I only have about 700 miles on my 4, but I haven't noticed any "hunting" for gears as this and a couple other reviews have mentioned. Maybe once I get those coveted 1500 miles on it, and hammer on it some more, and get on a good mountain road, that might change. IDK.

I think they keep beating this to death for a few reasons. One is the fact that everyone loves the LT1 for the most part. And two, this LF4 is more than capable of having more power out the box but for some reason caddy won’t turn the boost up a tad despite the motor being proven to be capable of holding alot of power reliably as a daily driver.

I will say the A10 seems to be a bit more smooth with the LT1 I had in my 2019 Camaro SS but I’ve also only got 1000 miles on my BW so far so it might change behavior a bit over time. It’s might and day over the shitty A8 I had in my ATS V.

This lol. Speaking of which, a new video he just dropped a few hours ago of a CT4V Blackwing.

Joe ratti “reviewing” another CT4, asking a question he never answers of course. Thinly veiled advertisement for the car at autonation. Wouldn’t have posted this, but it’s matte green
